Former presidential candidate Herman Cain dies of COVID-19
Source: WHIO News
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has died weeks after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, according to an announcement made Thursday on his website. He was 74.
Youre never ready for the kind of news we are grappling with this morning, Dan Calabrese, the editor for Cains website, wrote Thursday in a statement. Herman Cain our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us has passed away.
Cain died at an Atlanta-area hospital where he had been critically ill for several weeks, according to Newsmax. Company officials said he had recently joined Newsmax TV and had planned to launch a new weekly show prior to his death.
Cain was admitted to a hospital July 1 after testing positive two days earlier for a novel coronavirus infection.

(14,595 posts)fake news - he died for some other reason (likely soros or some other D boogyman) and just are saying it was C19 as part of the never ending grand conspiracy against their lord and savior DJT.

(6,241 posts)are saying about it. No, this is not changing anyones mind. They are getting further entrenched in their ideals because of it. One guy said, this will put a fire under McConnels no liability bill.
The rest of the posts are calling the doctors murderers for withholding the HCQ/zinc treatment, and putting him on a ventilator. Also debating whether it was covid, or cancer that killed Cain (even though the cancer went into remission in 2006 and never showed signs of relapse.)

(49,088 posts)NewsMax is a hard-right lie sheet, not an approved DU source.
So one or the other thread will have to be locked. Glad I don't have to decide.
I sometimes am too harsh and possibly too mean sometimes, so I was worried that this one might come across that way. Your post has reassured me.
I do wish some regular LBN posters were more careful when they know how it works from experience. Posts can cross paths quasi-simultaneously, but it is easy enough to take a quick look after posting. It saves DU members and hosts a bunch of bother.
It means people don't waste time posting into a thread that will be deleted.

In any case, suggesting a different link to the original poster is considered better form, so as to not fracture a thread in Latest Breaking News.
The other original thread is earlier and larger.

(15,537 posts)I didn't agree with him much, but he really suffered the past 4 weeks. No one deserves to go through that.

(4,608 posts)Just like everyone who refuses to mask and social distance.
He paid the ultimate price for his willing stupidity.

(13,059 posts)I hope this is a wake up call to people on the right who are trying to make this about freedom to either wear a mask or not. It's about saving lives. And I hope that Trump is satisfied now that his rally in Oklahoma has killed a prominent Republican. And another person of color has died. We know that POC are disproportionately dying from this deadly virus.

(5,731 posts)"Herman Cain scoffed at COVID-19 and refused to wear a mask. He proudly tweeted a photo of himself at Trumps ill-fated June 20th Tulsa rally, in a crowd of unmasked people. At some point during all this denial and dumbassery he caught the virus. Today hes dead."
